End of the Gregorian year!

It doesn't seem like the end of the year at all... It's just like everyday... a regular weekday! It was worse than a regular day, as one of my staff caught a bad cold with fever and another was coughing... There were no progress at work and it was a really bad way to finish the year...
Privately, I think I made great progress and the experiences I went through were tremendous. But as a reporter and a correspondent, I think this year was below average... I have no satisfaction about what I've done this year... I hope next year I can take a prodigious leap forward!

I went to...

buy calendars for next year! they didn't have many with the Gregorian calendar...

And one last look at...

the "Down with USA" display near the bookstore we went to...
Next year, the relation with this country will be the key to this Islamic nation!

In Tokyo, all of my family who lives in Japan entered the New Year when it was still 6:30PM here in Tehran. I was able to talk with my newly wedded wife in Tokyo using Skype right at the moment Tokyo's clock hit the second pronouncing the New Year's arrival. At least this had made it a special way to enter the New Year!

for the "year-end soba", I had udon... instant made one...

Thank you to all the people that have supported me this year and I hope you will support me the following year too!
In return, I shall devote all of my love to you too, and please have a great new year!

Thank you 2008... and I hope I will enjoy 2009!
